1. This analysis will likely be reliant on recent readings that are clouding my mind including the Schizo-Culture by Semiotext(e) and I Love Dick by Chris Kraus (both reflecting capitalism & schizophrenia).
2. I probably don’t need a preface because I am always cloudy and we are always influenced in this way. I will never see anyone past myself.
3. I felt like Next Life by Rae Armantrout perfected schizophrenic poetry. This is in a  way departed from clinical diagnosis, but reliant on multiplicities that can’t be explained or made sense of. These multiplicities co-exist and reflect an irrationality, but this is Capital itself.
4. Next Life at times is post-capital, post-individual, post-body.
5. Meanwhile, it remains spiritually connected in a Zen Buddhist absence-as-spiritual-enlightenment way.
6. This is poignantly parsed in the title poem (which is also the last poem), “Next Life”: “‘Don’t be a commodity;/ be a concept:’”(77-78). We are urged to look past the pervasiveness of commodities in late-capitalism and in Art (always) towards concepts which in their purest form cannot be sold but only exchanged. In this way, the concept is key to the implosion of capitalism.
7. Those lines are later furthered with, “Be untraceable/ but easy to replicate” (77). Here we have a dystopic image of the worker and the machine at once. Capitalism relies not on newness but duplication. Workers can be replaced and products are constantly “upgraded”. To be untraceable in this surveillance society is one of the few ways to maintain agency/ power. To remain anonymous is to “Be twice as far/ and alway back”(77).This society is futurist but also wary of all these technologies influencing human relations at the core. To be anonymous is to maintain power. 
8. I am likely placing my feelings towards Writing During Late-Capitalism into my reading of Next Life but there is a pervasive quality of theoretical schizophrenia throughout the text.
9. There is a search for originals but nothing is original (“and by ‘inaccessible’/ we meant original”[76] ). She is extending the range of the soul towards duplication and past it (3).
10. Through the clamor there is a silence and this is the Zen nothingness. In Zen the feeling of nothing is enlightenment. This is reached through (among other acts) a memorization of Zen phrases. But, one can only achieve Zen after they travel through the phrases and exit them in silence. The nothingness creates a break in linear time.
11. Finally I have arrived to my point.
12. The documentation of ceaseless moments joins them together with a consistent time. Thus, Armantrout breaks the linear and throws us into Zen. This is a Zen found through the objects and the people that are always surrounding; always chattering. Here Armantrout doesn’t loose, us she circles us: “Not getting lost/ but looping/ then extending myself”(6). She is the hands that hold and gather. All the disconnected moments loop forever, but it is her pinpoints that remove them from time and enter them to an Other space.
13. This is schizophrenia (brought to you by Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari).

14. Poetry always works within capitalism, but at moments they misunderstand each other.The world seems so foreign which is why these “simple” moments must be documented (like seeing a “nostalgic” ad on a restaurant wall on page 63).

15. Under the amalgam of voices, bodies disconnect: “the breath coming/ to rest/…/is mine?” (54). So much is happening that the body morphs and becomes other to the self.
16. These corporeal and material changes form the sublime: 

Variations

17. I forgot to mention the echo.
